Chapter 5 The Old Fire of the First Sun

At that time, he was still eight years old, and he was as crippled as he had been in the past. The silver light sprinkled on the creek added a lot of coolness.

The young Hua Ke had just moved to a neighboring village with his father, and it was also a nameless village.

Hua Ke came out of his uncle's house and saw the sparkling stream, and I don't know whose young man was standing on the moss in the cool breeze.

It's just the tip of the night, and no one cares.

Hua Ke's uncle is named Wang Shishi, with a strong body, and at a glance, he clearly looks like a peasant. He sent the father and daughter warmly, and no matter how much he persuaded him, he had to send them to the entrance of the village.

And Hua Ke's father, Hua Qun, saw that the night had arrived, and the entrance of the village was far away, so how could he be embarrassed to let his brother-in-law send him off? The two pushed each other, so it was not lively.

Hua Ke was bored, so he stared at the boy curiously.

Maybe it's a quarrel with your family, and you come to relax when you're sad.

She was thinking like this, when she suddenly saw the figure of the young man, if the rock fell down the cliff, he fell to the wind, and sank to the bottom of the stream with a thud.

This freaks out the hell in Hua Ke!

She dragged to the corner of Hua Qun's clothes in a panic, and kept shouting: "Dad, Dad, someone is looking for a short time!"

Hua Qun and Wang Shishi were also frightened by the sudden sound of water, and Hua Ke's eager voice sounded, and then they saw that the young man by the stream was nowhere to be seen just now.

Hua Qun couldn't help but say, and wanted to run directly to the stream, but his body just moved, but he was pulled by Wang Shishi to the corner of his clothes.

I saw Wang Shishi's worried face: "Brother-in-law, you are not good at water, and if you continue to be reckless like this, I am afraid it will be more than lucky." I know that young man, an orphan in the village, his life is more than a wild dog, no one is happy with him, no one is worried about less, your noble body, you don't have to take this risk for this. ”

Wang Shishi spoke very quickly, he was not afraid of delaying the time to save the young man, but he was afraid of speaking slowly, Hua Qun had already jumped into the water.

After hearing this, Hua Qun's eyes were like a raging fire, he vigorously opened Wang Shi's blocking hand, and said angrily: "What you said is still human?"

After that, Hua Qun raced against time, his feet were dotted with grass, as if he was running and floating, his posture was as light as the breeze, and he waved lightly on one leg, and in the silver moonlight, the whole person fell under the clear water.

Hua Ke and Wang Shishi waited anxiously, the sound of rushing water was in their ears, but their hearts were crawling like thousands of ants, and they were extremely tormented.

It didn't take long for Hua Qun to drag the boy and want to climb ashore.

Wang Shishi hurriedly took hands and dragged both of them up.

After Hua Qun went ashore, regardless of the bone-chilling wind, he let the flowing water spill from his body, and hurriedly pressed the young man's abdomen, and a lot of stagnant water gushed out.

Hua Ke put her finger under the boy's nose, but she was still breathing, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

When Wang Shishi saw that the person had been rescued, he hurriedly said, "Brother-in-law, you are really a bodhisattva. Now that man has been saved, and we have done our duty, why don't we put him here and leave him to fend for himself. Otherwise, when he wakes up, he will have any major or minor illness and accuse us of a hand, but there is nowhere to reason, after all, wild children have no morality. ”

Hua Ke listened to his uncle's words, and for some reason, he felt disgusted in his heart. She glanced at Wang Shishi, frowned, and looked at Hua Qun with a worried look, she was afraid that her father would listen to her uncle's words.

Hua Qun looked at the young man, his clothes were ragged and skinny, and he thought that he had just been in the water, and vaguely saw that the young man was clutching a stone in his arms, afraid that he would not be able to sink to the bottom, and his mouth was wide open, and he poured the stream water violently, and he had no desire to regenerate at all.

He thought of Wang Shishi's attitude towards him, and the people in the village should not be much better than him.

It must be because life is too bleak and helpless to do such extreme acts.

He directly picked up the young man and led Hua Ke to the direction of the village.

"From now on, this boy will follow me!"

When Wang Shishi saw this, he was puzzled and said, "Brother-in-law, why don't you listen to me? I think you should call Shishi this name!

Hua Qun replied: "I look at this child, he is bold in doing things, and in the future, he will become an atmosphere!"

At this time, the young man on Hua Qun's shoulder woke up, still feeling groggy.

Hua Ke saw it, his eyes were bright, and he shouted happily: "Dad, he's awake, he's awake!"

Hua Qun glanced at him and asked, "Young man, do you have a name?"

The young man was still very weak, and said in a low voice: "Gu Hai ......"

"If he can become an atmosphere, my king will strip naked and run around the village three times!"

Wang Shishi's rude roar sounded in the village, and he quickly chased after Hua Qun and shouted, "Brother-in-law, wait for me, I'll send you to the entrance of the village." ”

Since then, Gu Hai has lived with Hua Ke's family.

When Hua Qun was a teenager, he practiced immortal arts with masters for a few years, and returned to the countryside, and his status was naturally not ordinary. When Gu Hai learned about this, he felt that the heavens had given him sunshine again, and immediately knelt down to apprentice.

But Hua Qun shook his head and said, "In my life, I am only in the Huangshi Realm, and I am not qualified to teach people." ”

In this way, he rejected Gu Hai's request.

Although he confiscated Gu Hai as an apprentice, he always treated Gu Hai like his own son.

On the first day of eating in Guhai, like a wild dog, the sound in his mouth was like running water, and the food on the plate, if splashed with water, the light rhythm was the constant beating of the bowl and chopsticks.

Hua Ke saw that her eyes were like apricots, her small mouth was slightly open, and then she smiled "poof", laughing so much that she trembled, she had never seen anyone eat like this.

That's not all, when Gu Hai filled a mouthful of pork belly into his mouth, tears slipped down his cheeks like winter snow melting.

Later, I heard that it was Gu Hai that day, and he wore good clothes for the first time and ate meat for the first time.

He suddenly fell to his knees, knocked his head three times in succession, and then fell to the ground, trembling.

Hua Qun's family was stunned at first, and then Hua Ke hurriedly helped Gu Hai up.

Hua Qun and his wife saw the child's pitiful appearance in their eyes, and they couldn't help but feel distressed in their hearts.

"Child, you are no longer alone, this is your home. ”

Huaqun's wife, Wang Ruyi, hugged Gu Hai's small body into her arms and comforted.

Since then, Gu Hai and Hua Ke have been reading and reading books and learning etiquette.

After the two were often together, Hua Ke found that Gu Hai's eyes were like the darkness in the abyss, as if they did not have a halo.

She asked her father curiously, and her father stroked his beard and said helplessly: "He was born unlucky, and unfortunately his human nature is cold, and there seems to be a thousand layers of cold ice in his heart, how can it easily melt?"

When Hua Ke heard his father say this, he couldn't help but feel love and pity for Gu Hai in his heart.

When Gu Hai first learned to write, his speed was too slow, and every day Hua Qun asked for space, and it always took late at night to complete.

Hua Ke always finished herself, although her apricot eyes were flowered and her jade hands hurt, she still helped Gu Hai write a few more to help him go to rest early.

However, Hua Ke is lively by nature, and when he helps him, he does not forget to tease.

She always deliberately withdrew the paper when she handed it to Gu Hai, with an arrogant look, and asked: "Call me sister, and I'll give it to you." ”

Gu Hai was ten years old at this time, and Da Hua Ke was two years old.

Gu Hai, who was already unsmiling, naturally ignored her. Without saying a word, you have to take a piece of paper and copy it yourself.

Seeing him like this, Hua Ke had to quickly stop him, handed him the paper, and pouted helplessly: "You don't like girls like this." ”

Gu Hai took the paper and said in a low voice, "Thank you." ”

Hua Ke saw his appearance, for some reason, she smiled again, she covered her mouth, and suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was very cute.

Gu Hai saw Hua Ke's bright smile like the sun, and a ray of sunshine shone in his heart.

Later, Gu Hai pleaded repeatedly, and Hua Qun began to teach him the method of cultivating immortals.

Hua Qun told Gu Hai that the method of cultivating immortals in this world, no matter what, needs to be formed by the "thought" in the heart at the age of ten before it can be practiced, which can be divided into three categories:

One is the art of imperial weapons, the second is the method of forging, and the third is the principle of Taoism.

Hua Qun raised the sword in his hand and showed Huang Shi Dao: "Since the art of imperial weapons is the most secure and the easiest, there are many people in the world who practice this method. But even if it's the easiest, it's not easy. I've practiced all my life, and I'm just a Yellowstone. And those who can cultivate to the highest level of purple stone, among thousands of people, it is difficult to produce one. ”

Gu Hai nodded, although he had already understood this, he still patiently listened to Hua Qun's words to him, and secretly swore in his heart that he would definitely get ahead in the future!

From then on, he followed Hua Qun and practiced the art of imperial weapons.

But at the beginning, he had remnants of "past life" memories in his brain, which not only did not help, but on the contrary, it uncharacteristically hindered his cultivation. Hua Qun taught him the method of cultivation, which was to constantly refine his body day and night. But in the memories of his previous life in his mind, not only were the methods of refining the body different, but he also had to observe nature and realize the Tao in his mind. Therefore, it was difficult for him to understand many of Hua Qun's cultivation methods.

Maybe there are millions of ways to practice, and all of them are methods, and none of them are wrong.

So he decided to forget the memory in his mind for the time being, and cultivate according to Hua Qun's method. It's easy to say, but it's hard to do, but he still unconsciously and sometimes clings to the memories of his past life.

But because of this, there are still many places that cannot be understood.

Hua Qun was always annoyed because of this, blaming Gu Hai for not being attentive enough, and punishing him a lot.

Hua Ke had to take two years to reach the age of ten before she could practice, and when she watched from the sidelines, when Gu Hai was scolded and punished, she felt very uncomfortable.

Therefore, she secretly wrote down what her father said, and then noted her own understanding. Then he quietly approached Gu Hai's side and whispered softly: "Don't you understand again?"

Gu Hai nodded hurriedly, seeing what Hua Ke remembered, there was a leisurely warmth in his heart.

When Hua Ke handed it to him, his eyes rolled and he smiled evilly: "Call me sister." ”

Gu Hai was desperate, his eyes looked into the distance, and he said vaguely: "Sister... Sister ......"

When Hua Ke saw him like that, he smiled again and handed over the paper he had written, and he was a little surprised that he actually obeyed.

She said: "At least I am also your savior, and I will not suffer if I am called a sister." ”

When Hua Qun taught and Gu Hai to cultivate immortal arts, he held a sharp long whip in his hand, and there was a thunder on his face, and said solemnly: "I gave you this immortal cultivation technique, so that you can protect yourself in times of danger, or after I and your master and mother pass away, you will be a great mountain, and Ke'er will not be bullied." Therefore, after the cultivation is completed, you must not bully the innocent, nor fight with others, otherwise I will know that I will be severely punished!"

Gu Hai seemed to eat all the words into his stomach, and replied with his hand: "Disciple obeys the teachings!"

The news of Gu Hai's adoption by Hua Qun spread like an autumn wind to all corners of the village in an instant.

A villager dropped his sickle and sneered: "Have you been chained up as a dog again?"

"Hahaha! I think it's possible!"

This humorous laughter pleased everyone's depressed hearts again, and they floated out happy laughter.

The sound of laughter, like the waves of wheat in the field, rises and falls in the golden sea and spreads into the distance.

On this day, Hua Qun took the altar wine and handed it to Gu Haidao: "Give this to your Uncle Wang Shi's house." ”

When Gu Hai heard this, he had to step on the painful place again, he hesitated a little, but finally agreed.

He walked towards the village, step by step, his feet heavier than the stones around him.

Finally, he still walked to the entrance of the village.

The familiar land appeared in front of me again, and a cold wind immediately greeted you.

He looked at the soil of the dead grass and broken flowers, and not only did he not have a trace of nostalgia, but a sense of disgust immediately surged up.

The injustices and grievances he suffered were displayed in front of him like a scroll of wind and snow.

He frowned, clenched his fists, and walked forward.

As soon as he stepped on the land of this village, it was as if he had touched a mechanism, and he said crazy words like arrows, and he came in front of him.

"Yo, isn't this the ancient sea? I have found a backer, and I finally remember to come to see our old friends!" The eyes of the man resting under the tree glowed with happiness.

When the rest of the people heard this, they were also very enthusiastic.

"Yo, Gu Hai, is the Hua Immortal good to you? He didn't beat you with a whip, did he? He didn't let you learn to bark, did he?"

"Ah, I've gained a lot of weight recently, and my complexion is also good, isn't it that the food for the dog in Huaxian's house is good, and you have robbed it to eat?"

"Hahaha!"

Since Gu Hai left, everyone hasn't been so happy for a long time, and it's been a long time since they laughed so heartily.

But these scathing words, like branches and vines drawn from the air, slammed into the fragile place of Gu Hai's heart.

Gu Hai gritted his teeth, and the surging hatred rushed into his eyes, he clenched his fists, and was about to swing over.

At this time, the master earnestly taught, like a pair of shackles, tied to the hands.

He can't let Master, let everyone in this world who is good to him be disappointed.

He forcibly calmed his anger, and in the midst of this undulating harsh wind and hearty laughter, he walked towards Wang Shi's house with the wine in his arms.

When he came out of Wang Shishi's house, everyone gathered together again, and secretly looked at Gu Hai, laughing with joy, but did not know what he was saying.

When Gu Hai was about to leave the entrance of the village, a burst of laughter suddenly rose from behind him, and the laughter for some unknown reason was like a spike, and it was endless.

Nevertheless, a few months later, suddenly a group of villagers from a neighboring village, armed with hoes or long sticks, all of them with faces like rakshasas, were furious, and they opened their bloody mouths and roared thunder, asking Hua Qun to hand over the ancient sea.

Hua Qun was playing against Hua Ke, and when he heard this movement, he hurriedly came out to appease. He stood in front of the crowd, elegant temperament, obviously different from all evil-looking people, he arched his hands and asked: "I don't know what the lover has done, work everyone to rejuvenate the people?"

These people are from the ancient sea village.

Everyone who was angry suddenly stopped roaring, and a group of sturdy young people walked out, and everyone who was angry with a rakshasa face suddenly burst into tears, and the pitiful appearance seemed to be pouring in the heavy rain, helpless grass, and said in a sad voice: "The disciple you taught, Gu Hai, came to this village a few days ago, saw our villagers, vented his former evil anger, and beat people when he saw them, and we were powerless to fight back, so we had to let him beat and scold." ”

After that, everyone pointed to the bruises and swells on their bodies, and Liang and Hua Qun looked at each other.

"Our two villages are adjacent to each other, and the Huaxian people are human beings, and we have always known it. But you are now an apprentice, once an orphan in our village, and now you have learned some fairy arts, and the character of a wild dog is revealed in the place where you are not seen. Today, we are here to ask for an explanation!"

Hua Qun listened to the words of the villagers and was a little unwilling to believe it, but he thought about it carefully, and just asked him to go to Wang Shishi's house to deliver the letter a few days ago.

At this time, Hua Ke and Gu Hai also came out of the house, Hua Ke stretched out his arms to block in front of Gu Hai, frowned angrily, and said loudly: "No one is allowed to bully Xiao Hai!"

Hua Qun's sharp eyes glared, and Hua Ke was so frightened that he put down his little hand, and then asked sharply, "Gu Hai, are they injured by your shot?"

Gu Hai lowered his head and replied in a deep voice, "Yes......"

This sound seemed to lead Hua Qun's eyes to thunder.

He only took one step and entered the house. One more step, and the long whip has been handled.

Hua Ke's eyes seemed to be filled with tears, and his voice was accompanied by crying, and then he opened his hand to stop it. But where can she stop it?

A long whip, if it falls from the sky. The feeling of tearing heat instantly invaded the heart of the ancient sea.

Hua Qun shouted angrily: "Kneel!"

Gu Hai gritted his teeth and endured, closed his eyes, and then embedded his knees in the dirt.

Another long whip! If a long dragon appeared in the air, Gu Hai's young body and another blood mark. The blood marks were like tears of blood, dotted on the ground.

"I warned you not to bully the innocent, and not to fight with others, so why don't you listen?"

Hua Qun's words were like a torrential rain and thunder, and they were extremely harsh.

Gu Hai felt dizzy for a while, and his sweat couldn't stop dripping.

Hua Ke hurriedly hugged his father's thigh and begged again and again: "Don't fight anymore, don't fight anymore!"

The people of this village, seeing that Gu Hai was punished like this, did not pity him at all, and their faces were cold. Some people couldn't hold back, and even smiled on their lips.

Wild dogs, forever inferior.

Suddenly, a person made a false gesture and persuaded in a yin and yang tone: "That's it, that's it, after all, it's a Huaxian beloved disciple, how can he let him suffer from skin and flesh again?"

Hua Qun listened to these words, and waved his hand again, this whip, a sharp and slender sound, raised in the cold sky, the falling wind, the fan animation dust, and the withered grass and flowers couldn't stop trembling.

When the long whip fell, Hua Qun said loudly: "My Hua family's family law has always been strict, no matter who persuades you, you can't avoid these three whips!"

As soon as the voice fell, this could break the long whip of the river and hit Gu Hai in the back. This time, he couldn't bear it any longer, and his miserable screams pierced through the air, his eyes rolled and his lips trembled.

The blood flowed out like a long river, and he could not bear it, and he was covered with sweat and fell to the dust.

Hua Ke was so frightened that he cried bitterly while supporting Gu Hai.

Hua Qun bowed his hand to everyone and said: "As you can see, I, Hua Qun, have given an explanation, please go back!"

The villagers went away in laughter as if they had finished enjoying a good show.
